The global scanning electron microscope market is expected to grow at a
CAGR of 7.74% during the period 2018-2022.

The report, Global Scanning Electron Microscope Market 2018-2022, has
been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from
industry experts. The report covers the market landscape and its growth
prospects over the coming years. The report also includes a discussion
of the key vendors operating in this market.

One trend in the market is rising popularity of ESEMs. The rising
popularity of ESEMs will drive the growth of the scanning electron
microscope market till the end of 2022. An electron microscope directs a
beam of electrons at an uninsulated material and delivers a current to
the specimen.

According to the report, one driver in the market is increasing focus on
nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is gaining prominence in science and
technology due to the use of nanoparticles in essential items in daily
life. Numerous industries are adopting nanotechnology due to the rising
demand for miniature products and rising consumer demand for smaller and
powerful devices at low prices.

Further, the report states that one challenge in the market is high
product cost. The high product cost of SEMs is affecting the demand for
the same. The initial capital investment of SEMs ranges between $100,000
and $1,250,000. Non-analytical SEMs, such as CD SEMs, are sold for
approximately $700,000.
